Do you think that the store buy it at the same price?
Of course not, but the markup is only a few percent. Stores like GameStop usually have razor thin profit margins on new sales. Used sales is where they make the real money because the markup is much larger.
And, yes, buying used from GameStop does support the industry, as I said, because they use part of the revenue from used sales to buy new product which directly benefits the publisher and developer.
That depend where or not enough new-sales as made to keep the publisher and developer afloat.
And Pre-owned take away from new-sales making the publisher and developer more vulnerable.
Not to mention that the money earned from a Pre-owned sell do not necessarily goes to buying a new game from the same publisher or developer.
The Pre-owned could be a Mario-game. but the sell from the Mario found the purchase of a new PS4 games.
Or perhaps the money goes to the executives and investors of the store.
In short by buying pre-owned you may not be support the creators of the games you like.
The money could go to the people you hate the most.
Buy new ensures that at least some of the money goes to the creators of the games you like
